That visit sparked interest for another 100 plus Moi who asked to hear the chronological Bible teaching. As I remember, the missionaries continued discipling the first group of believers (relying on church planting consultants&#8217; recommendation) and then those Moi disciples helped teach the new group.<br>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The missionaries have faithfully served in this difficult-to-reach end-of-the-earth mountainous location, and have finished translating the New Testament (and portions of the old).\u00a0 This dedication is part of why we choose Ethnos360 &#8211; we don&#8217;t just share the gospel, we\u00a0strive to establish a mature church.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/d5d8aa93e7772aea00359cc13\/images\/5a1879f2-ccb5-9292-9ed4-7970ff95966d.jpg\" width=\"264\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/d5d8aa93e7772aea00359cc13\/images\/f8b4791e-5cad-7f7e-01c8-88d725a1e71d.jpg\" width=\"264\"><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prayer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt; Pray that all the pieces to the&nbsp;phone system project will go smoothly<br>&gt; Pray we can recover from sickness and be able to spend quality time with grandpop &amp; make more progress on the archive project.&nbsp;<br>&gt; Pray we will continue to walk closely with God and find our rest in Him.&nbsp;<br>&gt; Pray that we will be sensitive to the Holy Spirit&#8217;s leading each moment<br>&gt; Resolution to the jet fuel situation in&nbsp;Papua New Guinea<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partners with you<br>to see a thriving church for every people,<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott and Regina Rodman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Family &amp; Friends, Greetings!\u00a0 May God&#8217;s grace and peace be with you.
